Analysis of an annular disc with a concentrated, in-plane edge load

The static analysis of an annular disc with a clamped inner boundary and a concentrated, in-plane load at the outer boundary is presented. The singularity associated with the concentrated load is isolated and the resulting non-singular problem is solved by the method of complex potentials. The superposition of these two solutions gives the desired solution. Results are presented for various radius ratios. © 1979, Institution of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.
